we're at number three healthcare. romney has repeatedly said he would repeal obama care on day one and yet last night he said well, he truly wouldn't get rid of all of it. he would keep the most popular piece which is covering pre-existing conditions. >> romney: actually, it's a lengthy description but number one, pre-existing conditions are covered under my plan. >> jennifer: then after the debate his top deputy eric fehrnstrom, the guy who said that the campaign would etch-a-sketch away its positions. fehrnstrom -- clarified mitt romney's position saying... >> jennifer: in other words mitt romney will not guarantee coverage for pre-existing conditions and you better hope that you live in the right state or that you're lucky enough to already have insurance. in fact, romney admitted the very same thing back in march to jay leno. >> romney: people with pre-existing conditions as long as they've been insured before, they will continue -- >> suppose they were never insured. >> if they're 45 years old and i need insuranc

debate and discussion in this country on how we slash medicare spending or we find ourselves with no healthcare for those over 65. that's the alternative. the monetary collapse--excuse me quickly. a monetary collapse when the dollars we have in our pocket don't buy a thing because of the inflation that is going to go along with borrowing and printing money to the tune of 43 of every dollar. >> cenk: ron paul seems to be saying the same thing do you but you haven't been able to capture them-- >> that's not the case. your ron paul supporter, i'm saying the same things as ron paul. i ran for the republican nomination. i thought it would be really hard to marginalize two people on stage saying the same thing ron paul and myself. i didn't find myself marginalized. i found myself down-right excluded while ron paul was marginalized. >> cenk: thank you so much for joining us. >> cenk, thank you much. >> cenk: all right running for president for the libertarian party. when we come back, the elbow of the day. >> cenk: michele bachmann is one of the darlings of the right wing. she ran for president. she w

next up, healthcare. yep. romney really made a death panel reference, referring to the independent payment advisory board which does have the power to force medicare cuts. but it is explicitly prohibited from rationing care or restricting benefits so no, it's not a death panel. romney said he would balance the budget in ten years but he still has not offered up a plan for that. in fact, he says he will increase military spending and restore billions of dollars to medicare and supposedly won't raise taxes meaning no new income. one spending reduction he did offer is cutting funding to pbs. but that's only $450 million a year which pales in comparison to other government spending. more bill press is coming up after the break. stay with us. you're about to watch an ad message created by a current tv viewer for capella university. matter. >> i work with adults with developmental disabilities. growing up i had a single mother of four and people in the community were so helpful when they didn't even have much themse

to pay for government-run healthcare, you'll pay higher taxes and more for your medicine. >> that ad is referring to the fact that in his decision to uphold the affordable care act earlier this year, the supreme court redefined individual mandate as a tax. what it actually does is require everyone to have health insurance since many people already do, it is a bit of a stretch to consider that a tax on all americans. when you look at the president's policies as a whole he has enacted several tax breaks for the middle class. like the adoption and dependent care tax credits and a 2% payroll tax cut. the ad claims mitt romney would then lower taxes on the middle class but look, when you look at this ad, the facts don't add up. according to the tax policy center, romney would have to get rid of the president's tax breaks effectively raising taxes on the middle class all in order to pay for his tax cuts for the wealthy. and speaking of taxes and spending cuts, leaders in the senate right now are working on a plan to avoid the fiscal cliff come january. we're looking at $720 billion worth o
